OREANDA-NEWS.  DTEK became one of Ukraine’s 25 top employers, according to the Capital business newspaper. The rating was compiled by polling more than 500 largest companies of Ukraine, students of the country’s leading higher educational institutions, experts and visitors of the capital.ua portal.

The polling was made in November. The study covered such data as average salary, social package, benefits, corporate development programs and programs for increase of the employees’ loyalty. Students were asked about the company they would like to work in.

DTEK is the largest energy company of Ukraine occupying leading positions in coal mining, electricity generation and distribution. Over the last five years, the company invested more than UAH 20 billion in the development of its assets. DTEK currently employs about 140,000 people. The level of labour remuneration is one of the highest in the industry.

DTEK Academy was set up for the Company’s personnel training and development. Over three years of its existence, 40,000 employees of DTEK have completed educational and special-purpose programs. The corporate training centre is currently seeking accreditation in line with the CLIP international standard of corporate training and with the European Association of Business Schools. The Academy will open its branch in Kyiv in 2014.

‘People are our main competitive advantage. That is why the Company is investing substantial funds in its human resources. Five years ago, we set a goal to make sure that by 2013 we can fill 80% of medium-tier and top executive vacancies with our own succession pool. Today, we have reached 82%. In my opinion, this is a clear proof that we are interested in our employees’ professional development more than anyone else,’ said Aleksandr Kucherenko, the HR Director of DTEK.
